I also believe that the Chernobyl disaster also helped to sway public opinion towards nuclear power. The recently launched <a href="http://www.nnl.co.uk" rel="nofollow">National Nuclear Laboratory</a> is helping to portray a better image of the nuclear industry, and to explain what is involved.

These reactors have been shown to be very safe and efficient. The cheap PWRs they're planning on buying are not safe or efficient. *sigh* I still don’t want new nuclear plants in the UK until the government agrees to shell out the extra money to buy something like the Canadian CANDU or the French reactor designs.
